The Culinary Artists Despair.

The French delegation sent over to the inau-
guration of the Bartholdi Statue of Lib erty
was entertained at dinner by the Union League
club. And what a support A supper such as
only the wedding feasts of Gamache could give
an idea. The dishes served were Of the most ex-
guisite and costly description; the confection-
cry was of the most learned and artistic sort;
dish after dish came on selected from bill
of fare which covered no less than an enor-
nous page of closely printed text. Nothing, in
face, was wanting except the appetite to do
honor to banquet worthy Of Sardanapalus.
At midnight the first course was still in
progress. The chairman thereupon took a
decisive step. He summarily put stop to
endless pageant, and ordered champagne to
be served
have since learned that this firm resolve
on the part of the chairman proved almost a
death blow to the cook of the club, an italian,
whose amour propre was at stake. He had
dreamed of out rivaling his most formidable
competitors of New York by setting before
real connoiseurs repast which, from first to
last, should prove gastronomic crescendo of
the highest order In his despair, the cook
was with difficulty prevented from thrusting.
not sword like Vatel, for he had none-but
a kitchen knife through his body Kind
words, however, brought him round to a
calmer mood. Take consolation, o grand
culinary artist! for the French delegation,
despite its poor appetite, has retained last
ing sense of your merits-M. Charles Bigot

How Donkey Parties are Conducted.

Donkey parties are the latest thing in the
way of a social gathering in milwaukee. A
large slihoutte representing a tailless donkey
is cut out OF paper or cloth and fastened upon
the wall To each guest are given a cambria
tail and a pin. Then they are blindfolded, one
by one, placed in a corner opposite the donkey,
whirled three times around, and then started
on blind search for the donkey. upon which,
if they reachit, the tail is to be pinned II the
guest goes in another direction and stumbles
against wall, door, chair, or anything else,
there be must leave the tail The movements
of the blindfolded are apt to be ludicrous
The person who makes the best effort to place
the tail upon the donkey where it belongs re-
ceives present of some kind, while the guest
who makes the most unsuccessful effort gets
the BOBBY prize.-New York Sun.

Take Sufficient Drink.

Medical authorities now declare that it is of
vital Importance to health that the system
should receive daily a sufficient quantity of
water to amount to what sailors would call q
Flushing" that is, sufficient to wash away
the waste. Most of the matter which should
be excreted is solid, and requires a compare
lively large volume Of fluid to dissolve it 50
that it may be cast of, an example of which
may be seen in the case of uric acid, which
needs several thousand times its weight in
water to dissolve, or else it crystalhzes in the
shape of calculi, or produces other disease.
Three and half pints of water or other clear
fluid, not INSTRUCTED by semi-solid contents.
should be taken daily by every adult, and by
large people as much as four and half or
five pints, in order to keep the cells of the
kidneys we'll washed out, the effete waste
matter from he possibility of depositing itself
where it may do harm, and the system in
health generally.-Harper's Bazaar.

DRESSER TO ADELAIDE NELSON.
Hannah Leone's Occult Influence Over
A. Nafinn.

Hannah Leone's Occult Influence Over
tho Great ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Notion.
| Hannah Leone's history has never been
| told, and as it gives an interesting page in
| theatrical history it is worth relating.
Hannah many years ago married worth
| less fellow named Leone, and after enduring
with him for few years she finally left him
and accepted the position OF dresser to
| Adelaide Nelson. Hannah is a short, hump
backed woman, but she has pleasing features
and some call her pretty. From the time
she first accepted the position with Nelson,
ND to the time of that talented actress sad
death, Hannah performed her duties without
ever making mistake. Her duties as
! dresser consisted in packing and unpacking
her mistress wardrobe and in dressing Neil
son for the stage As Hannah was obliged
to know where every article was and at a
minutes notice be able to place her band
upon it, it may readily be seen that her duties
were not only onerous, but that they also re-
ouired great deal of headwork to success
fully perform.
Hannah exercised some strange occult In
fluence over Nelson, and it is said that that
most beautiful but most hayward woman
feared and loved no one but her, and that one
look from Hannah's clear eyes had more in
huence over her than the prayers and en-
treaties of hundred friends. Certain t is
that Nelson loved the quiet little woman, for
after her ENeilson's) will was read it was
found that she had bequeathed to Hannah
Leone the most beautiful and valuable set Of
jewels of her priceless collection.
After Nelson's sad death in Paris Hannah
returned to this country, and for some time
remained in privacy; but in 1882 or 1888 she
became Modieska's dresser, and she was with
the latter until last fall
Modjeska, like other great actresses, has
her pet superstitfons. First among them is
that if she goes on the stage at the first pro-
1uction of new piece without rubbing her
hand over humpbacked persons back the
play will be a dismal failure. Hannah, on
account Of her hump, was invaluable to Mod
jeska, but owing to some disagreement she
was finally discharged.
At the production Of "Daniela" in New
York a short time since, after everything
was ready, Modjeska refused to allow the
piece to go on unless she could rub her hand
over humpbacked persons back. The stage
manager was in agony until he happened to
espy humpbacked man in the audience.
The manager quietly had him called upon the
stage. and after djeska had dainti1y
caressed his hump with the tips Of her fingers
she consented to make her entrance upon the
stage, and the play moved smoothly on.
Hannah Leone is a finely educated woman,
speaking three or four different languages,
and it is owing alone to the great love she
bore Nelson that she has never risen to a
higher place in the world. She is living at
present in New York, quietly. on one of the
up town streets She has had many offers
from great actresses to enter their service,
but has not considered any OF them favorably.

IDENTIFYING THE GRAVES.

Thus, when James B. Moore, assistant
quarteInaster United States army, was ap-
pointed to care temporarily for the dead at
Andersonville, he had no difficulty with the
aid of the registry that had been kept in
identifying most Of the graves. With a
free of several hundred men he proceeded to
lay out walks, fence in the grounds and
mark the graves with painted head boards.
About 10000 feet of pine boards were thus
used. OF course, some stakes had been re-
moved and some directions on the registry
were imperfect; but the care that was taken
is credit to those who had the matter in
charge.
The work then begun so timely has since
been untiringly kept up. The cemetery now
presents a beautiful appearance. The grounds
are nicely laid out and neatly kept The
whole is inclosed by brick wall about five
and half feet high. the plainness Of the wall
being relieved by neatly constructed twenty
foot panels, which are supported by square
pilasters, the pilasters being carried above the
top course of the wall The fine iron gates
are always open to visitors, who flock to the
place by hundreds
From the center of diamond shaped plat
rises a flag staff on which the stars and stripes
are to be seen flying from sunrise to sunset.
except in inclement weather. Near by are
stationed a couple Of cannon, mounted on
stone bases From this point radiate four
finely kept avenues, about twenty feet wide;
parallel rows of large water oaks cast on them
an abundant shade; brick cutters on either
side keep them well drained The four sec
tons Of the cemetery are also well shaded and
beautifully adorned with shrubs and foliage

SOLDIERS CEMETERY.
THE UNION DEAD THAT WERE
BURIED AT ANDERSONVlLLE, GA.

An Explanation Concerning the Death
Register-Beautifu1 Appearance Of the
Cemetery-Graves of the Unidentified.
The Rows of Tombstones.
Let us turn to the cemetery. This is stu.
ated about half mile northeast of the station
at Andersonville, and comprises about twenty.
four acres Of beautifully undulating grounds,
with many natural features not to be found
In the spot from which we have just turned.
The appearance Of the cemetery has been en-.
tirely changed since war days Then it was
but rude field. The dead were buried in
trenches seven feet wide, four feet deep and
from fifty to $50 yards long No collins were
used, but the twisted, emaciated forms OF the
dead prisoners were laid side by side, ard at
the head of each was driven little stake, on
which was painted number corresponding
to the number Of the body on the death regis
ter The cemetery was q direful necessity,
and no extra pains were taken with it. Not
before June, 1865, was any step taken toward
inclosing the ground and marking the graves
so that they could be identified in the future.
A word of explanation respecting the death
register is perhaps necessary that the reader
may see why only 921 out of ,793 lack
Identification When a. prisoner died his
comrades reported to the registrar of the
dead, prisoner appointed for that purpose,
near the wicket at the south gate The
registrar recorded the name, state, regiment,
company, rank and date of death of the dead
man and assigned him number. Thus each
corpse was numbered, and as they were car
ried out in the dead wagon for burial care
was taken to inter the bodies in order and
mark each with numbered stake. All this
was done by prisoners detailed for that work.
and hence the care that wsfs exercised.

A Hymn OF Grace.

At a hotel in Brantford the other day, after
they had taken their places for dinner, they
began to chant hymn as grace, but were In

that - singing!' The singers desisted, al
though earnestly requested to proceed. The
interrupter, after dinner. was ordered to seek

ROWS OF TOMBSTONES.

The graves Of course, are as they were
first formed. The painted head boards that
Mr.. Moore erected have been taken away and
burned, and substantial white marble slabs
have been erected in their places. These
stones are of two kinds, but those of each
kind are uniform. Here and there indeed,
are stones that have been furnished by the
family of the dead, but the majority are of
the uniform make, FINISHED by the govern
menu
For the graves of identified soldiers the
tombstones are fiat, polished slabs, three feet
long, one-half being under ground, four
inches thick and twelve inches wide On the
face side is a raised shield, and on this is
recorded the number, name. rank and state
of him who sleeps below. This is neat, and
Of course somewhat monotonous, but it is the
best generous minded public could do. For
the unknown soldiers the stones are four
inches square and project only five inches
above ground. The rows OF graves are about
ten or twelve feet apart. Everything is SO
neatly cared for, the spot Is so replete with
memories, the symmetrical rows Of tomb
stones are SO symbolic Of q similar cause and
an equal fate, the pleasant grounds are so
shady and quiet that one feels the scene
deeply impressive. Here and there, too, are
found cast tablets-there are some twenty-five
of them altogether-bearing suitable inscrip-
tions. Many of these are extremely beauti-
full, bringing to the visitors mind the dignity,
heroism and suffering of the fallen soldiers
